Chapter 783 - Thailands Beijing Roasted Duck (1/2)
The sky gradually darkened while the crowd on the street grew. Yuan Zhou had just finished the Mango with Glutinous Rice he bought earlier.
“How is it?” Xiao Xing asked curiously.
“They added sugar in it. It’s too sweet,” Yuan Zhou gave an honest evaluation.
“I think it’s fine, but the rice is not as fragrant as the congee you cook,” Xiao Xing said as he looked at the Mango with Glutinous Rice in his hand.
“Let’s go to the roasted duck place,” Yuan Zhou said as he started heading towards the intersection of the street.
“Ok,” Xiao Xing nodded repeatedly. While Yuan Zhou was not paying attention to him, he threw his Mango with Glutinous Rice away.
Yuan Zhou was walking in front. When he heard the sound of something being thrown into the trash can, he did not say anything and continued walking.
They were not in his restaurant so Yuan Zhou could only ensure that he himself maintained strict discipline. Even if the food was bad, he would still finish it. Only by leading by example would he be able to maintain the rules in his restaurant.
There was no point to expect that the tour guide would follow the same rule. After all, he was not Yuan Zhou’s customer.
The roasted duck restaurant was very big, and on the signboard, Beijing Roasted Duck was written in gold. Two sturdy waiters stood by the entrance and welcomed Yuan Zhou and the tour guide when they approached.
“Sawadikap,” the two greeted in Thai and brought them in.
The moment they sat down, before Xiao Xing could hand Yuan Zhou the menu, he spoke.
“One roasted duck and one signature dish. No swallow’s nest or shark fin,” Yuan Zhou said.
“Ok, let me ask what’s their signature dish,” Xiao Xing nodded.
“Get them to serve the roasted duck first,” Yuan Zhou decided to first eat the roasted duck.
“Ok,” Xiao Xing started speaking to the waiter after Yuan Zhou spoke.
Naturally, they were speaking in Thai. After the conversation, Xiao Xing translated it to Yuan Zhou.
In truth, Yuan Zhou had never been to Beijing as well. He had only landed there once for a flight transit. Therefore, he had never tried authentic Beijing Roasted Duck as well.
And thus, Yuan Zhou was looking forward to eating the roasted duck here.
The Quanjude Restaurant selling Beijing Roasted Duck that Yuan Zhou knew off required one to book a seat three months in advance if one wanted to eat there. Moreover, one had to pay an advance fee. The fee was not for the roasted duck. Instead, it was a fee for the duck food during the three-month waiting period.
One could only imagine how good the duck was with the amount of extra care given.
“I wonder if the duck here is better than the one at Chengdu,” Yuan Zhou wondered.
Ta. Ta. Ta. A waitress arrived with a tray. On the tray were some sauces and side dishes such as shallot, cucumber, sweet pepper, and Lotus Leaf Cake.
“It’s quite fast,” Yuan Zhou remarked while staring at the side dishes.
“The business of this restaurant is quite good,” Xiao Xing said.
“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
A different waiter arrived with yet another tray.
On the tray was a white plate with duck slices neatly arranged on it.
“Master Chef Yuan, the duck has arrived. Give it a try,” Xiao Xing invited Yuan Zhou to eat.
However, when Xiao Xing looked at Yuan Zhou, he found that Yuan Zhou was staring at the duck with an odd gaze.
“Duck slices?” Yuan Zhou asked with a frown.
“Yes,” Xiao Xing nodded as he looked at Yuan Zhou in confusion.
“They are all duck skins?” Yuan Zhou asked again.
